Forums -> Multiple monitors -> TV turns off, Screen configuration changes!
N8   2008-10-27 05:54
I've recently upgraded my setup to dual 50" TV's, and dual 27" monitors on the sides of these 2 TV's.

The two TV's are connected by a DVI -> HDMI converter connected to the graphics card, with an HDMI connection on both TV's.

Everything was working perfectly for a week or so, then I restarted my comp because of windows update and things stopped working right after that.

I usually turn off the TV's when I'm done working, or else my office turns into a furnace.

When I turn the TV's off, the screen configuration changes



After turning off screens then turning them back on:

The two TV's are plugged into the first GFX card if that means anything.



I'm assuming the problem here is that when the TV's turn off, my computer assumes that a monitor has been unplugged... but I can't figure out how to fix this.

I have almoust the same problem: after loading PC from standby mode, my TV is not visible - I cannot switch to it neither from UltraMon, nor from windows display configuration screen. Only full system restart helps.

I don't think it is Ultramon's problem, but Vista or graphics adapter.

Configuration: Windows Vista, GeForce 9600GTS, TV is connected by DVI-HDMI cable.

PS: in windows XP this problem never arised.
